The document outlines learning objectives for a 60 minute lesson on matter for grade 4 students. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to classify objects as solids, liquids or gases based on observable characteristics. They will also be able to describe proper handling of solids, liquids and gases found at home and school. Finally, students will demonstrate understanding of how molecular behavior differs between solids, liquids and gases.

6. • the end of 60 minutes period, the grade 4 students
will be able to:
Classify objects and materials as solid, liquid
based on some observable characteristics
Describe ways on the proper use and handling
solid, liquid and gas found at home and in school
Demonstrate an understanding of the behavior of
the molecules solid, liquid and gas.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

12. Anything that
occupies space
and has mass

13. The properties of
these states can
be explained in
terms of the
kinetic theory of
matter.

14. The Kinetic Theory
of Matter
Matter’s made up
of small particles
(atoms or molecules)
 The particles are in
constant motion

15. Property is an attribute, quality or
characteristic of matter.
Properties of matter include things like color,
shape, hardness, temperature, odor and texture
How it Looks (shiny, dull, color, etc.)
How it Feels (hard, soft, rough, etc.)
How it Smells (sweet, sharp, no smell, etc.)
How it sounds (loud, soft, no sound, etc.)
What it does (bounce, stretch, tear, break,
etc.)

17. Has definite shape and takes
up a definite amount of space.
The particles are close together
and move around one point.
These neat and even stacks of particles
give the solid its definite shape.

19. Takes up a definite
amount of space.
The particles slip and slide around
each other, bumping into container
walls. This gives the liquid
the shape of the container.
Takes the shape of
its container.

21. Has no definite shape.
Particles move fast.
Takes up no definite space because
gas will always fill its container.
If container is opened
the particles move out.
Particles don’t stay close together.

24. SHORT RECAP

25. Examples of Proper Use and Handlingof Solid,
Liquidand Gas
1) Read the product labels of the products
and materials found at home and look at
the symbol below:
Make sure to label all bottles correctly!

26. Examples of dangerous or shouldhandlecarefully
items:

27. Proper Way of HandlingMaterials
1) Label poisonoussubstancesandkeep out
of children’sreach

28. Proper Way of HandlingMaterials
2) Using handgloves and gas masks when
usingpesticides

29. Proper Way of HandlingMaterials
3) Inspectingregularlyif the cooking gas tankis tightly
closed

30. Proper Way of HandlingMaterials
4)Keepflammablematerials away from thestove

31. Activity 1
The students will be grouped by 4 and each group will be
assigned to classify all the things in the reusable bag if it is
solid, liquid or gas. The group who finish first is the winner.

32. Rundown
• Matter is anything the occupies space and
mass.
• Solid with definite shape and molecules are
closed together.
• Liquid has definite amount of space and takes
the shape of container
• Gas has no definite shape and molecules stays
away from each other

33. QUIZ

34. A. Completion Test
1)A ____________ has
a definite shape and
volume.

35. 2) A ____________ does not
have a definite shape but takes
on the shape of its container.

36. 3) ______________ is anything
that occupies space and has
mass.

37. 4) A _____________does not
have a definite shape and
volume.

38. 5) A _____________is an
attitude, quality or
characteristic of matter.

39. B. Identify whether the object is
solid, liquid or gas

40. Smoke

41. Shampoo

42. Cookie

43. Juice

44. Steam

45. Assignment
Give at least 5 examples each of solid, liquid
and gas seen in your home and write in a
brief explanation on the proper handling
and use of these items. Write in a whole
sheet of paper.
